Oswald Chambers: Hope - A Holy Promise ಮಾದರಿ
One great hindrance of our spiritual life lies in looking for big things to do. We are meant to be the common stuff of ordinary human life exhibiting the marvel of the grace of God. The snare in Christian life is in looking for the gilt-edged moments, the thrilling times; there are times when there is no illumination and no thrill, when God’s routine for us involves towels and washing feet. Routine is God’s way of saving us between our times of inspiration. We are not to expect Him to always give us thrilling minutes.
The life of Jesus is a wonderful example of a perfect human life, but what is the good of presenting to us spotless holiness that we are hopeless to attain? The revelation made by the Redemption is that God can put into us a new disposition whereby we can live a totally new life.
Reflection Questions: What unrealistic expectations do I have? In what ways do I demonstrate my willingness to do “small” things for God?
